The Straw That Broke The CamelíS BackCedric McClester

(Verse -1)
Youíre well aware of the things you do
Like the changes that you put me through (false or true)
But the straw that broke the camelís back
And the reason that I must react (is in fact)
That itís not a rumor or a maybe
I know for sure that itís your baby
And itís driving me crazy

(Chorus)
Itís the straw that broke the camelís back
Something that you canít retract (with charm or tact)
And as a matter of fact
It doesnít matter what you say
It wouldnít change a thing anyway
And I canít stay

(Verse - 2)
Live long enough and you will learn
Your own point of no return (see fire burns)
I admit that I can take a lot of things
But the pain that this discovery brings
Is too much for me (donít cha see)
So never mind what the cost is
Nowís the time to cut my losses -cuz

(Chorus)
Itís the straw that broke the camelís back
Something that you canít retract (with charm or tact)
And as a matter of fact
It doesnít matter what you say
It wouldnít change a thing anyway
And I canít stay

(Bridge)
I canít cut you any slack
Itís the straw that broke the camelís back
See everything I need is packed
So donít ask me to come back

(Verse Ė 3)
Considering all that Iíve overlooked
I guess the baby is what it took (my world is shook)
But my flight is booked
This is something that just wonít keep (I canít help but weep)
The knife cut long and the wound is deep
Iím no longer gonna be a sheep
The price is steep

(Bridge)
I canít cut you any slack
Itís the straw that broke the camelís back
See everything I need is packed
So donít ask me to come back

(Outro)
Live long enough and you will learn
Your own point of no return (and fire burns)
I admit that I can take a lot of things
But the pain that this discovery brings
Is too much for me (donít cha see)
So never mind what the cost is
Nowís the time to cut my losses -cuz

(Chorus)
Itís the straw that broke the camelís back
Something that you canít retract (with charm or tact)
And as a matter of fact
It doesnít matter what you say
It wouldnít change a thing anyway
And I canít stay
